Extending or generalizing original distributions create new distributions with some tractability properties and with more flexibility in modeling data. In this paper, the extended Lomax distribution introduced by Ghitany et al. [1] is further extended in a larger family by introducing an additional parameter. We provide a comprehensive description of the mathematical properties of the subject distribution along with its reliability behavior. The problem of the parameter estimation for the proposed distribution is considered based on the maximum likelihood approach. Finally, the usefulness of the transmuted distribution for modeling reliability data is illustrated using a simulation study and a real data set.

In this article, we generalize the Rayleigh distribution using the quadratic rank transmutation map studied by Shaw et al. (2009) to develop a transmuted Rayleigh distribution. We provide a comprehensive description of the mathematical properties of the subject distribution along with its reliabilitybehavior. The usefulness of the transmuted Rayleigh distribution for modeling data is illustrated using real data.

A new three-parameter continuous model called the exponentiated half-logistic Lomax distribution is introduced in this paper. Basic mathematical properties for the proposed model were investigated which include raw and incomplete moments, skewness, kurtosis, generating functions, Rényi entropy, Lorenz, Bonferroni and Zenga curves, probability weighted moment, stress strength model, order statistics, and record statistics. The model parameters were estimated by using the maximum likelihood criterion and the behaviours of these estimates were examined by conducting a simulation study. The applicability of the new model is illustrated by applying it on a real data set.

We proposed a new family of distributions from a half logistic model called the generalized odd half logistic family. We expressed its density function as a linear combination of exponentiated densities. We calculate some statistical properties as the moments, probability weighted moment, quantile and order statistics. Two new special models are mentioned. We study the estimation of the parameters for the odd generalized half logistic exponential and the odd generalized half logistic Rayleigh models by using maximum likelihood method. One real data set is assesed to illustrate the usefulness of the subject family.

As it is often unavoidable to obtain incomplete data in life testing and survival analysis, research on censoring data is becoming increasingly popular. In this paper, the problem of estimating the entropy of a two-parameter Lomax distribution based on generalized progressively hybrid censoring is considered. The maximum likelihood estimators of the unknown parameters are derived to estimate the entropy. Further, Bayesian estimates are computed under symmetric and asymmetric loss functions, including squared error, linex, and general entropy loss function. As we cannot obtain analytical Bayesian estimates directly, the Lindley method and the Tierney and Kadane method are applied. A simulation study is conducted and a real data set is analyzed for illustrative purposes.

In this article, a new approach is used to introduce an additional parameter to a continuous class of distributions. The new class is referred to as a new extended-F family of distributions. The new extended-Weibull distribution, as a special submodel of this family, is discussed. General expressions for some mathematical properties of the proposed family are derived, and maximum likelihood estimators of the model parameters are obtained. Furthermore, a simulation study is provided to evaluate the validity of the maximum likelihood estimators. Finally, the flexibility of the proposed method is illustrated via two applications to real data, and the comparison is made with the Weibull and some of its well-known extensions such as Marshall–Olkin Weibull, alpha power-transformed Weibull, and Kumaraswamy Weibull distributions.

We define a new class of distributions with one extra shapeparameter including some special cases. We provide numerical and computational aspects of the new class. We proposefunctions using the \textsf{R} language to fit any distribution in this family to a data set. In addition, such functions are implemented efficientlyusing the library \textsf{Rcpp} that enables the incorporation of the codes \textsf{C++} in \textsf{R} automatically. Some examples are presentedfor using the implemented routines in practice. We derive some mathematical properties of this class including explicit expressionsfor the moments, generating function and mean deviations. We discuss the estimation of the model parametersby maximum likelihood and provide an application to a real data set.

In this paper, for the first time we introduce a new four-parameter model called the Gumbel- Pareto distribution by using the T-X method. We obtain some of its mathematical properties. Some structural properties of the new distribution are studied. The method of maximum likelihood is used for estimating the model parameters. Numerical illustration and an application to a real data set are given to show the flexibility and potentiality of the new model.

In this paper, we propose Complementary Kumaraswamy Weibull Power Series (CKWPS) Distributions. The method is obtained by compounding the Kumaraswamy-G distribution and Power Series distribution on a latent complementary distance problem base. The mathematical properties of the proposed class of distribution are studied. The method of Maximum Likelihood Estimation is used for obtaining the estimates of the model parameters. A member of the family is investigated in detail. Finally an application of the proposed class is illustrated using a real data set.

In this study, an extension of the generalized Lindley distribution using the Marshall-Olkin method and its own sub-models is presented. This new model for modelling survival and lifetime data is flexible. Several statistical properties and characterizations of the subject distribution along with its reliability analysis are presented. Statistical inference for the new family such as the Maximum likelihood estimators and the asymptotic variance covariance matrix of the unknown parameters are discussed. A simulation study is considered to compare the efficiency of the different estimators based on mean square error criterion. Finally, a real data set is analyzed to show the flexibility of our proposed model compared with the fit attained by some other competitive distributions.

This work proposes an inverse odd Weibull (IOW) family of distributions for a lifetime distributions. Some mathematical properties of this family of distribution were derived. Survival, hazard, quantiles, reversed hazard, cumulative, odd functions, kurtosis, skewness, order statistics and entropies of this new family of distribution were examined. The parameters of the family of distributions were obtained by maximum likelihood. The behavior of the estimators were studied through simulation. The flexibility and importance of the distribution by means of real data set applications were emphasized.
